Variation of the size of nitrogen droplets in a flow of gaseous nitrogen
Abstract
Approximate equations describing the interaction of nitrogen gas and droplets of arbitrary size were deduced, and the behavior of a small number of droplets in a uniform parallel flow was studied. Two qualitatively different cases occur. In the first case the radius of the droplets increases constantly, if in the beginning the size exceeds a certain value, determined by the temperature. Otherwise, the size decreases more and more. In both cases, however, if the gaseous nitrogen does not admit the presence of droplets, they evaporate and their size and temperature vary in a nonmonotonic way.
